Li Yiran (***)'s gaze was distant as he gently stroked the tea in his cup. He was dressed in pure white, as if untouched by any dust. His features were exceptionally delicate, shrouded in a mysterious mist, and his expression was plain. However, upon closer observation, one would notice that he seemed indifferent to everything, looking down on others from above. He appeared as if he were in another world, detached from worldly affairs. Both in temperament and demeanour, he exuded an extraordinary identity. Anyone could sense that he was an exceptional presence. Of course, no one knew that Li Yiran's so-called indifference was simply a state of bewilderment. He was completely clueless, not indifferent, about what was happening in the hall at this moment.
He had Reincarnated. One moment, he was being slaughtered by countless cultivators, and the next moment, he found himself in the timeline of his previous life. However, the current situation in front of him was something he had not encountered in his previous life. But from Li Yiran's experience, the way he looked now, no matter how you looked at it, seemed like he had become an antagonist, pressuring a maiden. Li Yiran couldn't help but feel somewhat helpless. Reincarnated, yet embroiled in a conflict with the Son of Destiny(****), it was truly giving him a headache.
"Li Yiran... Li Yiran!!!"
At the same time, Liu Feng repeatedly called out to Li Yiran loudly. However, Li Yiran seemed to completely ignore his presence, showing no signs of response. He didn't even deign to cast a glance at Liu Feng, treating him as if he were just air. This complete and utter disregard and indifference left Liu Feng's heart boiling with anger, his fists clenched, making creaking sounds.
"Bold, Liu Feng, today in front of all the esteemed guests, you have repeatedly provoked our sect and harboured malicious intent..."
"Someone, immediately take him to the dungeon and await further handling."
At this moment, another elder stepped forward, loudly reprimanding, unwilling to miss the opportunity to curry favour with Li Yiran.
"Indeed, Divine Lord, why not take this opportunity to nullify Liu Feng's cultivation and expel him from the sect? It would be fitting compensation for Young Master Li."
The other elders followed suit, standing up one by one, speaking with righteousness, condemning Liu Feng for his disrespect and offence. All the influential guests who had come were shocked. Just what was the identity of this mysterious man in white? Liu Feng's face turned pale in an instant, realizing that the situation was highly unfavourable for him. Everyone was striving to please Li Yiran and even Wang Mengyao (***) remained silent. All of this was completely different from what he had expected. Just at that moment, a cool sensation suddenly emanated from his fingertips, calming Liu Feng's state of mind. Li Yiran sat at the head, taking a sip of tea with an interested gaze. Then, Li Yiran's gaze shifted, landing on the jade pendant necklace around Liu Feng's neck. He used his divine sense to detect a master of profound cultivation within the pendant.
"Li Yiran, apart from bullying others with your power, what else are you capable of?"
Liu Feng spoke again, his anger burning in his eyes, locking onto Li Yiran as if he were the root cause of all the troubles. This thought filled Liu Feng with boundless rage, and he almost wished to tear Li Yiran to pieces. His emotions surged like a tidal wave, difficult to control. On this night, anything could happen. Despite having weathered storms with Wang Mengyao, he had never truly touched her innermost feelings. However, Li Yiran remained composed, sipping his tea with an expressionless face, showing no signs of emotional disturbance. He found the situation somewhat amusing. In his previous life, he had never experienced such a scenario. As for the Divine Lord personally betrothing his daughter to him, it was not a result of his active request. Playing politics, pleasing those in power, and flattery were common practices in any world. After all, his background was truly extraordinary. As for Liu Feng, though his strength was lacking, it didn't prevent him from taking the moral high ground.
